The National Bank will defend in court the legality of the measure of influence imposed on JSC IIB in the form of a fine for violating the requirements of the legislation in the field of prevention and counteraction to the legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime, the financing of terrorism and the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, contested by this bank in court.
This is stated in the NBU's message, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
In March 2025, the National Bank imposed a fine of UAH 20.5 million on the specified bank for violating the requirements.
After that, the National Bank announced that it rejects the political motive for the inspection of the International Investment Bank, which belongs to former President Petro Poroshenko.
The subject of the National Bank's inspection was the activities of the IIB, not its clients.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Petro Poroshenko owns 64.98% of the shares of the International Investment Bank through PJSC "ZNKIF "Prime Assets Capital".
On February 12, the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) imposed sanctions against Poroshenko, as well as businessmen Ihor Kolomoiskyi, Hennadii Boholiubov, and Kostiantyn Zhevaho, a former member of the Verkhovna Rada, the godfather of russian dictator vladimir putin, Viktor Medvedchuk.
After that, the National Bank announced that it may deprive Poroshenko of influence over the International Investment Bank.
